ALTER, the Brooklyn boutique, is giving a spesh WL reader 50 bones to spend as they wish ! You lucky devils. If you don't live in the 5 boroughs, you can still benefit–they take orders over the phone (yaaaay, everyone wins) (ps, they have a store for GUYS, TOO. So EVERYONE join in...!)
In honor of this NYT CMJ slideshow, which is full of the most ridiculous is-this-life-or-is-this-The-Onion band names (NOT counting the The Pains of Being Pure at Heart, of course), please leave your best attempt at a name that would dovetail nicely with such gems as The Ghost of a Saber Tooth Tiger (real), Electric Tickle Machine (real) and Podcastle (fake).
Worst (aka Best) wins the gift card!
Now please, leave me a comment that makes my eyes roll with delight.
